Your smudge looks different than mine, but Tesla did fix mine, and I’m happy with the results. I think the risk is that they sub paint work out to a local autobody shop, so the quality of the work is dependent on that shop. If you’re lucky, the repair will be undetectable, but if you’re not, you could have a door that doesn’t quite match the rest of the car. You’ll have to decide whether the smudge bothers you enough to roll the dice... good luck!
